A week of auctions from June 18–24, 2026, is underway across Genoa, Milan, Rome, Paris, London, and New York, featuring Old Master paintings, Asian art, fine wines, jewelry, design, rare books, and photographs. Major Italian auction houses including Cambi Casa d’Aste, Finarte, Colasanti Casa d’Aste, Aste Bolaffi, San Luca Casa d’Aste, FarsettiArte, Babuino Fine Art – Auction, Il Ponte Casa d’Aste, Pandolfini, Blindarte, Viscontea Casa d’Aste, and Libreria Antiquaria Gonnelli are holding live and online sales, with highlights such as figurative art from the 19th and 20th centuries, a Milanese collection, and Asian art.
This concentrated auction calendar matters because it reflects the sustained global demand for diverse collecting categories—from traditional Old Masters and rare books to contemporary prints and collectible wines—and demonstrates how Italian auction houses are leveraging both physical and digital platforms to reach international buyers. The collaboration between Babuino Fine Art and the Drouot platform in Paris underscores the growing cross-border integration of the art market, while the range of price points (including “Under 1K” sessions) shows efforts to attract new collectors alongside established investors.
